I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cisco in Mar 2014
Interview
I gave a recruiter my information and resume during a career fair. After about 3 weeks, a recruiter contacting me by email to schedule a phone interview. After the phone interview, which lasted about 30 minutes, I was up for a technical interview. They asked a series of simple programming questions with two bigger questions where you had to program two short functions. One being to reverse a linked list.
